minus-squareynthrepic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down4·2 months agoPlenty do. There is another budget vote in less than half a year.
minus-squareEnsign_Crab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 months agoOh cool. Like the continuing resolution they caved on.
minus-squareynthrepic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down4·edit-22 months agoCynicism like this is why humanity is doomed. Or am I misreading you and you actually think things can (if not will) get better?
minus-squarekreskin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 months agoEmpty optimism like yours which keeps the masses docile is why humanity is doomed.

minus-squareynthrepic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down3·2 months agoI am on the left though… 🙃 I agree that they shouldn’t have caved. That’s a different matter to OC. One appointee, and one that has a history of being less insane.
